The following sections define the roles played by each of these
groups in carrying out the plan. (Throughout this written plan, employees
with specific responsibilities are identified. If, because of promotion
or other reasons, a new employee is assigned any of these responsibilities,
the Environmental Health and Safety Officer is to be notified of the change
so that records may be updated).

Director of Environmental Health and Radiation Safety:

The "Director of Environmental Health and Radiation Safety" will
be responsible for overall management and support of our facility's Bloodborne
Pathogens Compliance Program. Activities which are delegated to the Director
of Environmental Health and Radiation Safety include but are not limited to:

Overall responsibility for implementing the Exposure Control
Plan for the entire facility.

Working with administrators and other employees to develop
and administer any additional bloodborne pathogens related policies and practices
needed to support the effective implementation of the plan.

Looking for ways to improve the Exposure Control Plan, as
well as revise and update it as necessary.

Collecting and maintaining a suitable reference library on
the Bloodborne Pathogens standard and bloodborne pathogens safety and health
information.

We have determined that the Director will require assistance on fulfilling
these responsibilities. To assist her in carrying out her duties, the
EHRS Staff and the Safety Committee are available.

Laboratory Supervisors and Departmental Supervisors:

Laboratory Supervisors/Principal Investigators and Departmental Supervisors/Managers are responsible for exposure
control in their respective areas. They work with our employees to ensure that proper exposure
control procedures are followed. They may consult with the Director of Environmental Health and Radiation Safety for assistance.

Supervisors are also responsible for ensuring
their staff is provided proper area-specific information and training on the Bloodborne Pathogens
Program, identifying and establishing safe work practices, ensuring the availability and use of proper engineering controls and personal protective equipment (PPE) and updating their specific standard operating procedures (SOPs) or mini-exposure control plan.

Facilities Services' staff or each lab group is responsible for cleaning minor Bloodborne Pathogen spills. However, no one may clean a minor spill without proper training from their Supervisor. Contact EHRS for assistance when needed.

Education/Training Coordinator:

Our Education/Training Coordinator will be responsible for ensuring that information
and training is available to all employees who have the potential for exposure
to bloodborne pathogens. Activities falling under the direction of the
Coordinator include:

The Director of Environmental Health and Radiation Safety, with administrative support, is the facility's Education/Training Coordinator.

Employees:

As with all of our facility's activities, our employees have
the most important role in our bloodborne pathogens compliance program, for
the ultimate execution of much of our Exposure Control Plan rests in their hands.
In this role, they must do things such as:

Know what tasks they perform that have occupational
exposure.

Attend or complete bloodborne pathogens annual training.

Plan and conduct all operations in accordance
with work practice controls and procedures.

Develop good personal hygiene habits.

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) for the job they are doing.

To help them with their efforts, our facility's Exposure Control

of this availability during their education/training sessions. Copies
of the Exposure Control Plan are kept in the following locations:
